Immigration Officer Guilty in Sexual Coercion Case

New York Times reported: A federal immigration officer who was caught on tape demanding sex in exchange for a green card pleaded guilty to all the charges against him in Supreme Court in Queens on Wednesday in expectation of a prison sentence of one and a half to four and a half years. The officer, Isaac R. Baichu, 48, faced up to seven years in prison in the case, in which he coerced oral sex from the 22-year-old Colombian wife of an American citizen in December 2007. After hinting that he had the power to deny her a marriage-based green card and have her relatives deported, he summoned the woman to a private meeting in a parked car on Queens Boulevard. She put a digital camera in her pocket and made an audio recording.
